Caller's Arguments:
The public contracts Universe 1 and Universe A were created
simultaneously. Each of them defines beans as a class of
assets. The first case is intended to test Rule 2166's
"existing solely" clause; the second (trivially FALSE if the
first case is FALSE) is intended to test which of the
contradictory restricted-ownership clauses is effective.

approximately 1.5 hours before I initiated these cases.

Evidence, part 3 of 3: Rule 2166/4 (Assets).
An asset is an entity defined as such by an instrument or
contract (hereafter its backing document), and existing solely
because its backing document defines its existence.
Each asset has exactly one owner. If an asset would otherwise
lack an owner, it is owned by the Bank. If an asset's backing
document restricts its ownership to a class of entities, then
that asset CANNOT be gained by or transferred to an entity
outside that class, and is destroyed if it is owned by an entity
outside that class.
The recordkeepor of a class of assets is the entity defined as
such by its backing document. That entity's report includes a
list of all instances of that class and their owners. This
portion of that entity's report is self-ratifying.
An asset whose backing document is not a rule generally CAN be
created by its recordkeepor by announcement, subject to
modification by its backing document. To "gain" an asset is to
have it created in one's possession; to "award" an asset to an
entity is to create it in that entity's possession.
An asset generally CAN be destroyed by its owner by
announcement, and an asset owned by the Bank generally CAN be
destroyed by its recordkeepor by announcement, subject to
modification by its backing document. To "lose" an asset is to
have it destroyed from one's possession; to "revoke" an asset
from an entity is to destroy it from that entity's possession.
An asset generally CAN be transferred by its owner to another
entity by announcement, subject to modification by its backing
document. A fixed asset is one defined as such by its backing
document, and CANNOT be transferred; any other asset is liquid.
A currency is a class of asset defined as such by its backing
document. Instances of a currency with the same owner are
fungible.

Judge root's Arguments:
It seems to me that since the "Universe 1" and "Universe A" contracts
do not refer to one another, they define two distinct classes of
assets that both happen to be called "beans". Note that this does not
conflict with Rule 1586, since neither class of assets is defined by
the rules.
Murphy did not clearly indicate whether e was attempting to create
Universe 1 beans or Universe A beans, so I find the attempt failed
altogether, and CFJs 1922 and 1923 are both FALSE.
